My config looks like your original one, except that the session stuff was after the "backend" directive, instead of before. I doubt that will make a difference, but maybe someone else knows.

I was thinking along the same lines and actually ignored the lopsided effect during my testing for exactly this reason, I assumed since all the load was coming from a handful of test servers I wasn't seeing realistic production behaviour. However the problem continued after we went "live" with it.
